GTA6 Drops Extended Gameplay Reveal: How Many More Surprises Does Rockstar Have After Massive Leaks?

Summary

At 3 AM Beijing time on the 28th, the official GTA6 gameplay trailer, with a 6-hour exclusive window bought by Netflix, finally went live. The full video runs 27 minutes, showcasing a large amount of actual in-game footage. But behind this release lies a nightmare of leaks for Rockstar. Earlier, a hacker known as Cyberleek claimed to have stolen the gameplay trailer and leaked fragments of it, then continued to release over a dozen clips over six days, totaling more than 40 minutes, completely disrupting Rockstar's promotional plans. Despite Rockstar filing a court request to trace the leak source on the day of the first leak, progress has been slow, and leaks have continued. The official trailer overlaps heavily with the leaked content but also includes new surprises, leaving players amazed at the sheer scale of the game. This incident poses a major challenge for Rockstar, but it also underscores the massive scope of GTA6. For players, the leaks and the official reveal have ramped up anticipation to the max; for the industry, it serves as a stark reminder of the importance of development security.
